First attempt at m27

[Hitesh]

Hi guys
This is my first attempt at m27, shot at 28 x 90secs, 14 x 90sec darks, bias and flats 14 x 90secs, can anyone suggest improvements to the image? i did want to run HVLG on it but for some reason its giving me some error message. The image has been cropped

HLVG doesn't seem to do anything other than speckle the centre of the nebula. Try curves/levels, I seemed to get better results with that when I had a play.

Nice capture btw!

Thanks for that, i'm glad you liked it, to be honest I dont really have a clue how to process this image properly, joys of the hobby woo-hoo!!!!!

very nice start, processing is all part of the learning curve!
